Our goals
Of course this platform serves more than one purpose. Not only do we aim to give all the necessary support, we aim to tackle most issues that are still commonly found on all freight vessels. We will do this on all vessels at the same time, in corporation with the shipping company and your captain. Case studies will give a clear indication of which issues are local and which are structural. The structural issues will be assessed with the company and will be tackled case by case. Focus will be on increased hygiene, food safety, HACCP and time-management.
Our commitment
This platform implies a mutual commitment. We expect you to work with this platform and put in extra effort whenever we implement an upgrade, post a case study or organize our monthly contest. Your efforts will be answered with monthly updates on this platform but most of all with a personal follow-up by the galley coach, this 24/7. For this, use the contact the galley coach button above. We have also made this platform accessible, not only on the ship's computer but also on your own laptop, tablet or smartphone.
